This 1930's "sun watch" is luminescent-so you can read it in the dark.................................
An item to be subsequently seen in millions of home front doors as a security device.
A really cool gadget from the roaring '20s.A short length of film bearing "stick" pictures of a person in four stages of a movement(eg running/jumping) is placed in front of a row of four torch bulbs.A primitive rotary switch causes the bulbs to light briefly and one after another. Causing an animated image to be projected on the provided screen. What a thrill,not a still!
In 1997 Dean Fletcher kindly sent me a fascinating set of Crosman cards.What a neat idea!

Old Water Pistol
Made by, A J Krajewski Mfg Co Inc. Rhodes Island.
An elastic band gun having a plurality of pivotally mounted releasers which are serially located from front to back on the stock. Each releaser is adapted to support the rear end of a stretched elastic band and upon actuation to release the band at a level above that of the tops of any forwardly located releasers. A spring action powered, manually cocked, escapement-type sequencing system responsive to actuation of the trigger works either semi-automatically or fully-automatically to free the releasers to discharge the bands. In another form, the bands are retained in notches, and scrapers controlled by the sequencing system free the bands from the notches to discharge them. A combination safety shield and sighting device is designed to capture rearwardly discharged elastic bands.
